I've been taking this medication for about a year and it's been very effective for me. It helps me feel more steady and stable, and avoid the constant highs and lows of bipolar. My doctor upped my dose when I began a severe bout of sleepwalking after coming off a strong sleep med. After increasing lamotrigine I stopped sleepwalking. My experience with the med has been nothing but good.

On top of that, I canâ??t sleep well. It had me up all night tossing and turning. Come Monday morning Iâ??m calling my Dr and hope she DC this and try me on something else.

I started this med almost 2 weeks ago for Bipolar II. Seemed to be working even at the starter dose. Then boom! Hives and severe itching. My Doctor told me to stop the drug if I had any skin reaction. So now I stopped it and I have crashed! See the Doctor next week on to the next drug.
